Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

They invent a world of bogeymen so that they can do exactly what they make-believe the other side is doing. "They make-believe do it, so it's just fair if I do it."

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 69 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yep. This isn't lack of self awareness or hypocrisy. It's manufacture of consent for them to do what they want.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 7 points 11 months ago

Quite literally it. We even coined the scientific name for it already!

Digressive Victimhood.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

i find that its almost always projection with these people

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

they will seldomly accuse the left of wanting things like socialism or healthcare or of wanting to end tesla

"Gotta do it to them ~~to stop them from doing it~~ before they can do it to us!"

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

"Make believe doing to us."

[–] Nay@feddit.nl 1 points 11 months ago

Exactly. (Fixed my comment)

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 73 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Elon is what the right wing thought Soros was.

[–] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 28 points 11 months ago

Classic projection again

[–] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 42 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The thing is that when he says Soros he doesn't mean Soros, he means something that would make him sound even more like a Nazi.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago

People are deluded or pretending that he didn't bring up Soros for this very specific reason.

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 24 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Can't a Nazi bribe in peace people! The jews/Soros are standing in his way.

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

This is giving so much 1984 vibes...

War is Peace

Freedom is Slavery

Ignorance is Strength

[–] projectsquared@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

He’s completely aware. He just knows that the GOP doesn’t give a shit about rules/norms/morals when they feel it benefits “their side”. The hypocrisy is intentional.

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 12 points 11 months ago

It's an embrace of the invisible.

They use religion to "prove" they're right.

They use A.I. to "prove" they're smart.

They use Bitcoin to "prove" they're rich.

A consensus of tomfoolery.

[–] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

This guy really shouldn't be reproducing

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

He shouldn't be reproducing and much like my sperm donor should be nowhere near "his" descendants.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

He has to give money for woman to accept his IVF, I bet

[–] martin4598@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago

Invoking 'Soros' is just plain old antisemitism. The real one, the far right wing one.

[–] kiwii4k@lemmy.zip 8 points 11 months ago

yeah, this was truly insane

and the reality is that a lot will fall for it, or will skew their belief system just enough to be somehow okay with this

i can't imagine any soros-hating conspiracy theorist to be cool with any of this shit our oligarch slave masters are peddling. he is literally what you should be afraid of.

[–] frazw@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

In MAGAland everyone except George Soros agrees with trump and musk and the only possible reason that people don't, is bribery

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They waffled between gates and Soros for a while too

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I love how Gates never caught on for some reason. I wonder if it's because they had easier targets with Hilary and Soros.

[–] UncleGrandPa@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

It's all a matter of guilt, ...as they see it

If you're a member of the trump Reich you are guilty of nothing and if you are any kind of supporter of Democracy

You are guilty of everything

[–] TheTimeKnife@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

He is just going through a nazi checklist at this point.

Its times like this I wish the US education system wasn't such a disaster.

Getting rid of the department of education should help!

John Queally needs to get familiarized with the scientific act of digressive victimhood already.
